Life is so interesting. No matter what you do, someone is going to tell you that you should've done it differently. So for anyone that wants to be a digital nomad for themselves, DO IT! I appreciate this video, I really do! However, I want people to know that no matter what you do, you are going to wish at some point that you had done it differently. Stay at home, "oh I wish I would have traveled". Travel, "oh I wish I would have built a base". Have kids young, "oh I wish I would have waited". Have kids in your late 30s, "oh I wish I hadn't waited". So live your life for you! No matter what, you are going to wish you had done it differently. Great video though :)
Being a Digital Nomad is not dead: you just need to modify your thinking about travel. What do I mean, stop traveling to destinations for short durations. Set up a home base country that you want to be in long term. Then travel only a couple of times per year to other destinations for maybe a month or two. Your home base can still be remote work and you can determine if you will work during travel excursions. You do not have to constantly travel to be considered a Digital Nomad.
100%. Digital Nomad's often make the mistake of constantly traveling over and over again, rather than say, renting in Greece for 3-4 months and enjoying the life there for that time without worrying about picking up and leaving to another place within 1.5 weeks. That is literally crazy talk.
Same. Just spent 4 months in Thailand, 3 of them on one Island, 2 months in a nice flat with Desk Setup. Just be a bit more stationary and then its easy to estblish routines
So basically the digital nomad life is not dead, you're just building a base and still traveling. I love this viewpoint, and "intermittent nomad" is exactly how I want to live. The best of both worlds, since you still are moving from place to place, traveling while working, but just having a "base".
I’ve travelled quite a bit over the past 10 years which led me to once take a job in Malta, running a small backpackers hostel. It was here that I made the same realisation as you after I met a digital nomad there who was in his late 30s, I was 27 at the time. He explained to me how he hasn’t got a place that he feels attached enough to that he could call home from where he’s travelled so much. He also said that he has very few deep relationships and still has to attend meet up groups (where we met and were having this discussion) to form friendships as so many people come and go. It was an illuminating conversation and I could see that I was heading for the same path as him if I carried on living the same life (as exciting as it can be). I now live back in my hometown and building my business here close to family and old friends. Cemented my place in the local community here. I still find plenty of time for trips away and can still scratch that travel itch. That conversation will always stick with me!
I did my business when I was young, get as much ahead as I can, gather enough and build my early relationship with friend that I am still in contact ( feels nearer by phone )and retired at 40 and moved around the world doing part time business . I fully retired at 55 . I am glad I take that direction rather then no close friends, not much monies , no children etc that is not life.
I never really went the digital nomad lifestyle as it became obvious that this is the end of the road. There are upsides and downsides no matter what you do, so I say do what seems valuable to you. That may change and it's okay. Good luck in your path.

In Arizona we call people like that “snow birds.” They follow the good weather, staying in Phoenix when it’s reasonable in winter, and coming up the mountain to the forest in the summer. They’re usually middle aged to retired, because that’s who can afford to own two houses. The rest of us can’t even afford one, in part because of the snow birds. Some though live in RVs and move between RV parks instead.
In the early 1990's, my parents bought a small, 2-bedroom condo in an older part of Fountain Hills, Arizona. The place needed painting, new carpeting, and what not, so they invested a little money in the place. For four to six months of the year, they would live in that small condo in metro Phoenix, see my sister and her family who lived down there, and escape the North Dakota winters. For the rest of the time, they were here in North Dakota in their small, 1000 sq ft house that they had owned since the 1950's.
@@heikorudi6105 I can’t even afford one let alone two. An apartment runs nearly half a million here. A studio is about $400k. We’d have to move to find something affordable plus has jobs with good income opportunities, and we’re just not in that position. It’s too expensive to save much, ironically.
I love that! As we become older the depth in experience thing is really becoming important. My fience and i are both 36 now and we are in the exact same boat. We LOVE travelling, but we also actually Love being Home! Thank you for doing your videos the way you do, transparency seems to be your best approach and I like it!
he has never come up with anything, he only copies stuff and puts a marketing spin on it (pretty well I must admit). The whole concept is nothing new by any means...
I am a dutch freelancer. I go on holidays in winter to escape the cold and grey to a warm exotic country. Now in Zanzibar. Soon back home to enjoy my routines and programming. Further i love the changes of dutch seasons, and indeed grey weather gets boring but also non-stop sun does.
Great video! Now I’m 20, I work as a Software Engineer remotely so technically it allows me to travel around the world but I cannot decide between settling down, saving up money, building a base for myself in the country I live now vs travelling the world as much as possible, doing and experiencing new things as I’m still very young. Concept of the intermittent nomading seems like a great compromise and worth a try. Cheers up Stefan🎉
Whatever you end up going for: I’d definitely recommend traveling first before settling down. Best case you fucking love it and do it for a long time Worst case you got it out of your system and will never have that “what if” feeling
Damn nice, dude. I'm 16, so I'm still in high school, and I want to pursue software development as well. Do you recommend that I go to college to get a cs degree?
@@randomfellow1483 depends on your situation. In my case I went to uni and it worked out well, I’ve met there guys(students from 3rd/4th year), who were working already and I basically took their advice for first: applying for courses organised by companies and then trying either get into internship from other companies or same company where you’re taking the course. After internship just try to get full-time position while still studying. Luckily my Uni was loyal to working students. Also strong base like algorithms and data structures provided by Uni lecturers helped me a lot during my interviews for internship/full time position. That was in Ukraine. But companies there do not give a f about your degree, especially for entry level positions, rather your capabilities to learn and give your best at work. Then I moved to Poland and what I faced here that for most of the companies at least Bachelor degree is REQUIRED to pass the screening (e.g to just be invited to the interview) except the internships, for these ones you should be at least a student. On the contrary, I know that in the US not requiring diploma is becoming more and more common. Going more abstract here, personally, I’d still go to University for great people connections and base theoretical knowledge to be an Engineer and not a coder.
@@randomfellow1483my advise: start learning gow to programm now, if university is for free in your country and you want to go deep do it. Otherwise you could just attend a coding bootcamp and be job ready in 3month to a year. I dropped out and did a bootcamp, because working as a software dev remotely was my goal in the end anyway. But really just start now ! And if you go to university try to find a job as quickly as possible, even if your studies take a bit longer that way. Once you have 1-2 years of experience, its really easy to find a job afterwards ! (Provided you actually did some programming in the company)
Digital Nomads need to work in order to survive which is the major downside of this lifestyle. Fiscal Nomads have passive income investments work them which is the key to true economic mobility.
This is EXACTLY the same conslution I got to, after being a nomad for 2 years. Have a strong base + community for 6-9 months. Then travel and explore in the bad season (harsh winter \ humid summer). Great video!
This is so genious, thanks for the video! It’s been almost 3 years since I moved to Denmark and I have to admit that the winter season also sucks here, while summer is nice.
I had the same experience at the end of my 20s and have really settled into depth in my 30s. I’m glad I did both. I feel very fulfilled now. I’m involved and making an impact on my community. I’m married with a new baby. I have fewer but MUCH deeper friendships. It’s great.
As for intermittent nomading, half of people Berlin, who work in the digital space, have done this for years, escaping the german winter for a few months every year. Still, I can totally relate with the part of always craving for more experiences when we were younger, but looking for other things as we get older. Priorities just shift over time.
"It is is better to know one book intimately than a hundred superficially." The secret history, Donna Tartt. It's a way of minimalism. I wish I could play 4 or 5 instruments bc I love music, but I know it's better (and possible) to keep myself focused in master just one. Thank you for your video! It's exactly what I've been thinking recently.
haha love this. as someone who is also around 30, also has been doing the digital nomad lifestyle for a few years now, also experienced the same challenges, I'm in the same exact place. Also European. For me this year is going to be about finding that base and setting my roots there. I have my eyes on the Canary Islands - great place, great weather, got surf, hiking, many expats , part of EU, decent distance from both Europe and Africa, etc. And the all-year good weather means if you buy a house/flat there and live there for 4-5 months per year, you'll find people to rent out to for the rest of the year. So now the question is which of the islands is most suitable for what I need. Planning to spend the first half of the year discovering the islands that I haven't been to yet.
totally agree with you mad, i have a tendency of doing 2/3 local and 1/3 abroad. We get to experience enough to the point of being able to comfortably build a dream lifestyle and also what other cities have to offer without forsaking our mental health, worth routine, and tax issues. Keep it up bro love the videos 🙌
I love your style. And I also realized that I've decided the same thing this year: to be an intermittent nomad. My base is in Romania though :) Looking forward to seeing how your new endeavour goes
Amsterdam is one of my favourite cities! Definitely a spot worth settling. If it had a beach, a golden sand beach, I’d live there. Nomading is taxing on time and energy. I prefer slowmading. Having 2-3 locations in different continents/hemispheres would be ideal.
Bro, honestly I felt every word you said as I used to have the same lifestyle, traveling in every free second when I still had a fixed job. After I quit I traveled the world whilst working and I couldn't get enough. At one point I felt the same, to get a base and focus. I was 32 at this point so around the same age. Living in Germany now which is a great country to live in, despite from the weather/winters. I build my business and I am super happy with how everything is right now. Tho traveling definitely came to short during the last years. I am planning on getting it back a bit. There is so many parallels and your plan sounds pretty cool and again you spoke from the bottom of my heart. Could have been me speaking this, as I always wanted to do a video about it :)
Pozdrav :) Tvoj video mi je baš značio. Suprug, ja i trogodišnje dete živimo u Norveškoj proteklih 6 godina i trenutno smo došli na ideju da napustimo sve, kako bismo putovali po svetu i kako bismo pre nego što nam sin bude uzrasta za školu mogli da odlučimo gde želimo da nam bude baza. Za nas je glavni razlog zašto ne vidimo sebe u Norveškoj upravo surovo vreme većinu godine, kao i da se ne osećamo integrisano čak ni nakon ovoliko godina, naučenog jezika i konekcija koje smo stvorili. Mi smo takodje imali taj plan da imamo bazu, jer ne vidimo život sa detetom tako što sve vreme putujemo. Medjutim, ne možemo da se odlučimo gde da nam bude baza. Tako da mislim da moraš proći kroz ono što si ti prošao - putovati i menjati, da bi shvatio šta želiš. Hvala za sjajan video i puno sreće dalje!
This is what I did for years… my Homebase was in Switzerland until recently I gave up my Home in Switzerland… and I am now a permanent Digital Nomad… on Travel from Visa to Visa…
This is so cool. I'm now looking into a semi-digital nomad life, and this sounds just like it. I have a few ideas on several bases, but I also like traveling and seeing the world. I appreciated this video!!
Great video! This video literally summed up my life 😂 after 2.5 years of digital nomading we're grabbing a homebase again for all the same reasons and then likewise still plan to travel 4-5 months out of the year. I miss my mountain bike and race car.
I just discovered your channel. Love to your video. I've been intermittent nomadding for 25 years between the Dominican Republic and Cape Town. I came to the same conclusion about depth versus breadth. I imagine you know that you're an Enneagram 7. That insight changed everything for me. Keep up the great content.
Bro, your video is super inspiring. I am in Guatemala right now, and I feel tired of constantly traveling around and exploring. I feel like traveling has lost its charm. What you’re suggesting here might indeed well be the perfect solution. Thanks! I will make a better plan :) ps I am from the Netherlands as well and I know the up and downsides of the country. So I need to weigh what’s overcomeable and manageable.
We do two 3 month abroad trips (1 month at each place), two 1 month stays in our hometown in Texas, and one 4 month stay in a small mountain town in Colorado for the summer. We find it to be a good mix. We are flexible. When our first grand baby was born in Hawaii, it ended up being a 6 month stay in Hawaii.
yikes this is exaclty the same i was thinking about the last months, im travelling for the last 7 years, and now i start to stay in one place 8 or 9 months , travel 2 or 3 and then stay in another location with the same scheduled, nice video !
Amazing, I thought of doing something similar, recently: Just traveling non stop, but staying at places for 5-6 months. It really gets going from one city to another.
Hey @Stefanovic, I'd like a template of your Master Plan Part II, please. Let me know where I can find one (although I can see most of yours ))). Thanks 🙏🌟.
bro just wanted to say… i wasxwatching ur videos when u had like 2K subs, then u kinda got lost from my recomenndations… now i search for you and you are at 300K! u did it man!! congrats!!
imo, having the ability to do remote work, is still a major upside. even if you're not in a perpetual nomadic state. you can always go somewhere when the weather gets cold at your base.
same thing like when you don't have money, money become so important, but once you have money finally you can say money is not really important. so definitely you need to try all the things first, and at the end you finally decide which one is fit for you.
I am totally with you. I have been a Digital Nomad since 5 years. And I am tired of constantly travelling and not having a home base. My thought was the same. 1-2 Homebases and staying there the majority of the year and then traveling the other couple of months.
Thank you for sharing this with us. What this is telling me is that being a digital nomad is great for me. lmfao I love being alone, traveling, and prefer speaking to my family through call. (I don't care for being in their presence and hearing their constant rants and complaints about how they think my life should be). Although, this video felt like "My Digital Nomad Dream is Dead" rather than the actual title. If there are no statistics showing a decline in digital nomads, then the dream isn't dead for everyone. Like, considering age, personality types, life experiences (I'm from a 3rd world country), people might see being a digital nomad as freedom to explore and earn money equally. With your life's story, your plan fits perfectly. You love family, friends and your partner. And putting prioritizing them is beautiful and important to keep you mentally and physically healthy. That's amazing. I'll convince myself that the title is just a bit of a clickbait lmao.
Just found you today and your storytelling and video editing skills are actually too good, I am inspired to be like you one day! May I ask where you learn to edit videos like this, structure videos and even down to using the right sound effects and background music?
Thanks mate! Most of it comes from watching TH-cam tutorials and just making a lot of videos. Music is definitely a major part in my videos. I use Epidemic Sound for copyright free music: epidemicsound.com/referral/cmxato
That is exactly what we do, great to see others doing it also (3-6 months in a location and have our base in London and Portugal, but escape winter and go to Thailand)
same here..my kids and i did 1.5 years in Brazil from the USVI and went to Costa Rica for 6 months..Back in Caribbean preparing to go back long term to Brazil
Ngl that i'm always impressed by your thoughts! 😮 I wish u could do whatever u wanna do, bro ❤ "Also, have to mention that this setup with those lights and your incredible way of storytelling is veeeeryyyyy great ❤"
There's a season for everything, but this is the way to go if you want to be consistently productive, and build truly deep connections. Your intermittent nomading thing is definitely not new though lol, I know a lot of people including myself that have been doing this for years
I tried nomad life for around 3-4 months. I instantly realized it’s not for me. Sounds and looks cool online, but there is just no way to have a routine. If you are someone that is ambitious about your job, working out or really anything that needs some amount of stability you are going to leave all that behind to essentially travel. You need to be a very to put it frankly “careless” person to enjoy this lifestyle long term. And well you will also be lonely most of the time. No way to keep deep connections when constantly moving around.
@@Stefanovic92I think having a place that is your “base” is essential. You can spend 3 months in Thailand during winter, 2 months in Prague or France during summer, 2 months in Croatia so on, but you really need somewhere to go back to and stay for a longer period of the year. I know I will be moving around a lot more in my life, but I would rather those stays be a longer period (1-3 years). Gives you more time to integrate and really see the places or parts of world you live in. The nomad experience feels very shallow at times.
I’ve been traveling for 15 years. There is some pain on structure and productivity, but the bigger issue is stability in location and who you spend your time with. Solved by getting multiple residencies/passports in favorable tax and living/lifestyle environments… that’s me staying in one place (generally) and it feels weird but it’s better for me now.
While I love traveling and experiencing different cultures, those things won’t love you and won’t be there for you during your highs and your lows. They won’t be there holding your hand at your deathbed. It will be Family and close Friends who you have real genuine relationships with. If you don’t nurture those relationships and are there for them during their highs and lows, then expect the same. It’s a big world out there and much lonelier when you only live for yourself.
doesnt work with kids. unless you wanna get into trouble with kids not going to school. I know in the Netherlands its pretty strict there. other countries maybe less so.
it's all about balance. It's great travelling but full time is burning the candle at both ends. I'm a DN and I travel for 6 months of the year. then settle for 6. its a balance that has worked for over 5 years, and when I do travel somewhere I move to thailand for example have this as a base and do little trips from there to see other surrounding countries. That way i build a community in thailand and I have a community when I come back to Prague for 6 months. I also have many friends that do this. So usually those same strong friendships I have, we meet in other countries and I always visit my family every 3-4 months. I absolutely love this life and I wouldn't change it. You just have to make a solid plan that works for you. Otherwise it could be really shitty.
I agree with the sentiment there. I'm in the position now where I work completely remote and could do the digital nomad life, but the idea of constantly moving, even if it's every 90 days, isn't too appealing, at least not long term. I've traveled overseas, but living abroad and tourism abroad are very different. Some countries have been offering remote work (or digital nomad) visas, some of which have residency pathways. I was eyeing Japan in particular for this, but their 6 month plan is pretty limited, you might as well just extend the tourist visa lol
Just do six month contracts in IT for high income in your home city and travel/freelance for the remaining siz months. The only downside is, you will have to get six month leases wherever you live
"Or can we?" 😄 By the way, same weather vibes here in the UK, so your video was very relatable 🙌 When you have kids, especially school age, it's a lot easier to get involved in offline stuff and create a community. My husband and I have started setting up what you've described very well in your video - having a base for the longer part of the year and exploring the world for the rest of the time. It is so satisfying! Thanks for the video 👍
I’m about to retire and still feel that thirst for new experiences. I have been thinking about the same “intermittent” plan to achieve more balanced life. I wish I had a chance ( or guts) to do it earlier but it’s better to do it at any point of your life than never. From Serbia you can find great deals for travels all over the World and they are much more affordable than what you can find in the US. Small difference in planning when you are older is that you put more emphasis on quality of health care, what is something Belgrade cannot brag about… I will keep you posted … or tell you more about it over a coffee in one of cafes along Knez Mihajlova :).
I love how your channel feels like a tv show. There are many different episodes about diverse topics but they all connect and make part of a bigger storyline! Can't wait to see the new Master Plan in action on Season 2. 🙌🏻
I consider myself a nomad, but I think I'm more into slow travel. Setting up somewhere, getting into a routine for a few months. This way things are always fun and interesting, and I don't have the disruption and downsides of constant travel. I can visit family for a few weeks or months every so often. Everyone's different, and I probably felt differently when I was younger, but this is what works for me now. I probably would have been gungho about being a digital nomad if I would've had the chance in my 20s and 30s. Now not so much
Man. Im 16 rn and in high school. Im learning web development right now while still studying for school, I'll most likely go to college and graduate with my bachelors degree and get a job. I'll work for a few years while building a side hustle/business as I'll have enough capital for it. If it becomes successful really fast, I'll quit my job and focus full-time as an entrepreneur. If not, then i might switch to freelancing and do both simultaneously. But idk if this will work out. Sometimes, I feel like im wasting my teens and might also waste my 20s. Any tips you got, bro?
I spent the last 5 years working as much as I could on my business. Now I'm finally close to being able to do it full time, I'd like to travel. But living permanently as a nomad seems difficult without at least a partner to do it with. I might however do it for a year or two if I can crack the productivity challenge.
What's funny is that I've came with a very similar idea. Rent a home here in the states, then go out and about traveling 2-4months of the year. Same reason being where I live the summers are horrible, extremely hot and uncomfortable. So why not take advantage of remote work and leave a couple months
i remembered you while i was in Amsterdam 2 weeks ago man. thought about hitting you up but didnt wanna bother you. but i can relate to what you were talking about the shit weather in the Netherlands hahah. sunrise at 9am is insaneee
Sorry Bro, we’ve been doing this for the past 15 years. I call it, “Part time home base, part time travel.” And there are so many others who had been doing that before we did. I know, it’s tough to be original, but it’s great to be right, and having a home base is the game changer. It makes travel even more enjoyable. Good luck!
I am not a digital nomad.but I have the same opinion as we age.i want settle down.and don’t like to travel a place if there are no friends I want to meet.I like my country more than i was young.😊
Did similar lived in Indonesia for 7 years and in Colombia for 6, always having worked remotely. Currently became tax resident again in The Netherlands but will keep on traveling as in switching between Colombia and Brazil but with my main base on Holland 😁😎
Intermittent nomading yes please. As a US citizen I'm just not able to afford living there, and as a remote worker I have a rational reason to stay out (tax exemption). So with only 35 days available to visit the US per year to stay within the tax exemption (FEIE), I've been struggling to figure out how to have a better homebase elsewhere. The relative level of savings needed to pull this off are a moving target. I've been aiming for residency in Mexico (residency status in another country is the only financially and temporally feasible way I can think of so far for securing "bona fide residency" so I can visit the US more than 35 days of the year while keeping my tax status). Right now my "home base" is a toolshed in my folks' back yard in the states. I can only really justify visiting once every 1-2 years. And since I'm still a tourist in Mexico I keep ending up putting more crap in storage, selling and buying again, startong over. Oh what to do.
Everything at live has his time. I had a similar way like you. Travel some years and it was a great experience similar to the Alchimist story of Coelho. Now I life mainly at Paphos Cyprus and another part of the year at Spain, which has many faces. For example winter at the Pyrenees offers great Christmas and Snowsport vibrations ;)
I think being nomad is a pain but moving to a different country with the right visa is a way to do it. You get an apartment, and you live your life like back at home

Life is so interesting. No matter what you do, someone is going to tell you that you should've done it differently. So for anyone that wants to be a digital nomad for themselves, DO IT! I appreciate this video, I really do! However, I want people to know that no matter what you do, you are going to wish at some point that you had done it differently. Stay at home, "oh I wish I would have traveled". Travel, "oh I wish I would have built a base". Have kids young, "oh I wish I would have waited". Have kids in your late 30s, "oh I wish I hadn't waited". So live your life for you! No matter what, you are going to wish you had done it differently. Great video though :)

So true! 👌✔️

Agree 👍
True. However working remotely is a blessing. There's nothing like that
Being a Digital Nomad is not dead: you just need to modify your thinking about travel. What do I mean, stop traveling to destinations for short durations. Set up a home base country that you want to be in long term. Then travel only a couple of times per year to other destinations for maybe a month or two. Your home base can still be remote work and you can determine if you will work during travel excursions. You do not have to constantly travel to be considered a Digital Nomad.
exactly. problem solved.
100%. Digital Nomad's often make the mistake of constantly traveling over and over again, rather than say, renting in Greece for 3-4 months and enjoying the life there for that time without worrying about picking up and leaving to another place within 1.5 weeks. That is literally crazy talk.
Exactly .. you could be at your home base for like half the year ... and travel the other half
Same. Just spent 4 months in Thailand, 3 of them on one Island, 2 months in a nice flat with Desk Setup. Just be a bit more stationary and then its easy to estblish routines
This has a name and its called being an immigrant
Just be a professional double for Bradley Cooper

So basically the digital nomad life is not dead, you're just building a base and still traveling. I love this viewpoint, and "intermittent nomad" is exactly how I want to live. The best of both worlds, since you still are moving from place to place, traveling while working, but just having a "base".

I’ve travelled quite a bit over the past 10 years which led me to once take a job in Malta, running a small backpackers hostel.

That conversation will always stick with me!
Agreed. The older I get the more I gravitate back to my home town (I am in my mid 30s and live in a different country)
it's the same when your bodycount is so high that you can't form a regular relationship anymore with one individual
I did my business when I was young, get as much ahead as I can, gather enough and build my early relationship with friend that I am still in contact ( feels nearer by phone )and retired at 40 and moved around the world doing part time business . I fully retired at 55 . I am glad I take that direction rather then no close friends, not much monies , no children etc that is not life.

In Arizona we call people like that “snow birds.” They follow the good weather, staying in Phoenix when it’s reasonable in winter, and coming up the mountain to the forest in the summer. They’re usually middle aged to retired, because that’s who can afford to own two houses. The rest of us can’t even afford one, in part because of the snow birds. Some though live in RVs and move between RV parks instead.
In the early 1990's, my parents bought a small, 2-bedroom condo in an older part of Fountain Hills, Arizona. The place needed painting, new carpeting, and what not, so they invested a little money in the place. For four to six months of the year, they would live in that small condo in metro Phoenix, see my sister and her family who lived down there, and escape the North Dakota winters. For the rest of the time, they were here in North Dakota in their small, 1000 sq ft house that they had owned since the 1950's.
have two apartments then lol
@@heikorudi6105 I can’t even afford one let alone two. An apartment runs nearly half a million here. A studio is about $400k. We’d have to move to find something affordable plus has jobs with good income opportunities, and we’re just not in that position. It’s too expensive to save much, ironically.
I love that! As we become older the depth in experience thing is really becoming important. My fience and i are both 36 now and we are in the exact same boat. We LOVE travelling, but we also actually Love being Home!
Thank you for doing your videos the way you do, transparency seems to be your best approach and I like it!
Nomad Capitalist came up with this at least 5 years ago. The idea of a couple bases and intermitent travel. Great video and message.
Jup great guy
@@Stefanovic92 Fone
he has never come up with anything, he only copies stuff and puts a marketing spin on it (pretty well I must admit). The whole concept is nothing new by any means...
@@user-wt2ip3bo3tyup. Do people think this is some kind of creative original idea? Lol.
How low IQ is this audience?
I am a dutch freelancer. I go on holidays in winter to escape the cold and grey to a warm exotic country. Now in Zanzibar. Soon back home to enjoy my routines and programming. Further i love the changes of dutch seasons, and indeed grey weather gets boring but also non-stop sun does.
That's awesome man! And agree, all the seasons are special in their own way. But it's cool to be able to switch it up
Intermittent Nomadi makes so much sense tbh...the ideal is whenever the weather sucks balls you just change location, having a solid base
But how to build a base on a cheap budget??
Great video! Now I’m 20, I work as a Software Engineer remotely so technically it allows me to travel around the world but I cannot decide between settling down, saving up money, building a base for myself in the country I live now vs travelling the world as much as possible, doing and experiencing new things as I’m still very young. Concept of the intermittent nomading seems like a great compromise and worth a try. Cheers up Stefan🎉
Whatever you end up going for: I’d definitely recommend traveling first before settling down. Best case you fucking love it and do it for a long time Worst case you got it out of your system and will never have that “what if” feeling
Damn nice, dude. I'm 16, so I'm still in high school, and I want to pursue software development as well. Do you recommend that I go to college to get a cs degree?
@@randomfellow1483 depends on your situation.
In my case I went to uni and it worked out well, I’ve met there guys(students from 3rd/4th year), who were working already and I basically took their advice for first: applying for courses organised by companies and then trying either get into internship from other companies or same company where you’re taking the course. After internship just try to get full-time position while still studying. Luckily my Uni was loyal to working students.
Also strong base like algorithms and data structures provided by Uni lecturers helped me a lot during my interviews for internship/full time position.
That was in Ukraine. But companies there do not give a f about your degree, especially for entry level positions, rather your capabilities to learn and give your best at work.
Then I moved to Poland and what I faced here that for most of the companies at least Bachelor degree is REQUIRED to pass the screening (e.g to just be invited to the interview) except the internships, for these ones you should be at least a student.
On the contrary, I know that in the US not requiring diploma is becoming more and more common.
Going more abstract here, personally, I’d still go to University for great people connections and base theoretical knowledge to be an Engineer and not a coder.
@@randomfellow1483my advise: start learning gow to programm now, if university is for free in your country and you want to go deep do it. Otherwise you could just attend a coding bootcamp and be job ready in 3month to a year.
I dropped out and did a bootcamp, because working as a software dev remotely was my goal in the end anyway.
But really just start now ! And if you go to university try to find a job as quickly as possible, even if your studies take a bit longer that way. Once you have 1-2 years of experience, its really easy to find a job afterwards ! (Provided you actually did some programming in the company)

welcome to the team. based in Dubai from November to May ...explore the world for the remaining months when heat kicks in.
My man is living the life
Digital Nomads need to work in order to survive which is the major downside of this lifestyle. Fiscal Nomads have passive income investments work them which is the key to true economic mobility.
I also discovered and settled on intermittent nomading after moving to Brazil 🇧🇷 one year ago. It’s the best way to do it for sure.
Did you find a job there in Brazil?
This is EXACTLY the same conslution I got to, after being a nomad for 2 years.
Have a strong base + community for 6-9 months.
Then travel and explore in the bad season (harsh winter \ humid summer).
Great video!
Snowbirding we call it in the states
This is so genious, thanks for the video! It’s been almost 3 years since I moved to Denmark and I have to admit that the winter season also sucks here, while summer is nice.
I had the same experience at the end of my 20s and have really settled into depth in my 30s.
I’m glad I did both. I feel very fulfilled now. I’m involved and making an impact on my community. I’m married with a new baby. I have fewer but MUCH deeper friendships. It’s great.
This is the way
As for intermittent nomading, half of people Berlin, who work in the digital space, have done this for years, escaping the german winter for a few months every year.
Still, I can totally relate with the part of always craving for more experiences when we were younger, but looking for other things as we get older. Priorities just shift over time.
So a lot of remote work in Germany??

It's a way of minimalism. I wish I could play 4 or 5 instruments bc I love music, but I know it's better (and possible) to keep myself focused in master just one.
Thank you for your video! It's exactly what I've been thinking recently.
Love that quote!
haha love this. as someone who is also around 30, also has been doing the digital nomad lifestyle for a few years now, also experienced the same challenges, I'm in the same exact place. Also European. For me this year is going to be about finding that base and setting my roots there. I have my eyes on the Canary Islands - great place, great weather, got surf, hiking, many expats , part of EU, decent distance from both Europe and Africa, etc. And the all-year good weather means if you buy a house/flat there and live there for 4-5 months per year, you'll find people to rent out to for the rest of the year. So now the question is which of the islands is most suitable for what I need. Planning to spend the first half of the year discovering the islands that I haven't been to yet.
Intermitted nomad!
Follow that concept as well.
Summer -> Amsterdam
Winter -> Portugal 🏄
You are very entertaining and love your sense of humor! Also cool to see all the B-roll is your own footage.
totally agree with you mad, i have a tendency of doing 2/3 local and 1/3 abroad. We get to experience enough to the point of being able to comfortably build a dream lifestyle and also what other cities have to offer without forsaking our mental health, worth routine, and tax issues. Keep it up bro love the videos 🙌
I love your style. And I also realized that I've decided the same thing this year: to be an intermittent nomad. My base is in Romania though :) Looking forward to seeing how your new endeavour goes
Agreed 100%. I´m living masterplan II since last year and for me: can´t get better than that.
Amsterdam is one of my favourite cities! Definitely a spot worth settling. If it had a beach, a golden sand beach, I’d live there.
Nomading is taxing on time and energy. I prefer slowmading.
Having 2-3 locations in different continents/hemispheres would be ideal.
Totally agree!
This is SO GOOD!! I'm actually on my own 19-month plan to enable me to split my year between living in the US and Thailand! Thanks for this video!
What if the weather sucks 10 months out of 12 in my European country ?
I guess it comes down to how much you’re willing to tolerate
Bro, honestly I felt every word you said as I used to have the same lifestyle, traveling in every free second when I still had a fixed job. After I quit I traveled the world whilst working and I couldn't get enough. At one point I felt the same, to get a base and focus. I was 32 at this point so around the same age. Living in Germany now which is a great country to live in, despite from the weather/winters. I build my business and I am super happy with how everything is right now. Tho traveling definitely came to short during the last years. I am planning on getting it back a bit. There is so many parallels and your plan sounds pretty cool and again you spoke from the bottom of my heart. Could have been me speaking this, as I always wanted to do a video about it :)
Agree 100%. Same exact thoughts, coming from Estonia! Good luck with your Masterplan II.
Pozdrav :) Tvoj video mi je baš značio. Suprug, ja i trogodišnje dete živimo u Norveškoj proteklih 6 godina i trenutno smo došli na ideju da napustimo sve, kako bismo putovali po svetu i kako bismo pre nego što nam sin bude uzrasta za školu mogli da odlučimo gde želimo da nam bude baza. Za nas je glavni razlog zašto ne vidimo sebe u Norveškoj upravo surovo vreme većinu godine, kao i da se ne osećamo integrisano čak ni nakon ovoliko godina, naučenog jezika i konekcija koje smo stvorili. Mi smo takodje imali taj plan da imamo bazu, jer ne vidimo život sa detetom tako što sve vreme putujemo. Medjutim, ne možemo da se odlučimo gde da nam bude baza. Tako da mislim da moraš proći kroz ono što si ti prošao - putovati i menjati, da bi shvatio šta želiš. Hvala za sjajan video i puno sreće dalje!
Put oko sveta ce vam biti najbolja odluka za sada! Sretno!
This is what I did for years… my Homebase was in Switzerland until recently I gave up my Home in Switzerland… and I am now a permanent Digital Nomad… on Travel from Visa to Visa…
This guy is reading my mind! He always makes a video exactly what I want or what I'm looking for.
This is so cool. I'm now looking into a semi-digital nomad life, and this sounds just like it. I have a few ideas on several bases, but I also like traveling and seeing the world. I appreciated this video!!
Great video! This video literally summed up my life 😂 after 2.5 years of digital nomading we're grabbing a homebase again for all the same reasons and then likewise still plan to travel 4-5 months out of the year. I miss my mountain bike and race car.
The best combo!
I still remember when you were less than 10 k Subs and you gave me a shout out in one of your videos. Love how far your channel has grown.
You won’t know until you do it! ❤❤❤ However this is amazing advice
I just discovered your channel. Love to your video. I've been intermittent nomadding for 25 years between the Dominican Republic and Cape Town. I came to the same conclusion about depth versus breadth. I imagine you know that you're an Enneagram 7. That insight changed everything for me. Keep up the great content.
Hey Bruce that sounds awesome. And no honestly never heard enneagram 7. Gonna look it up
Bro, your video is super inspiring. I am in Guatemala right now, and I feel tired of constantly traveling around and exploring. I feel like traveling has lost its charm. What you’re suggesting here might indeed well be the perfect solution. Thanks! I will make a better plan :) ps I am from the Netherlands as well and I know the up and downsides of the country. So I need to weigh what’s overcomeable and manageable.
We do two 3 month abroad trips (1 month at each place), two 1 month stays in our hometown in Texas, and one 4 month stay in a small mountain town in Colorado for the summer. We find it to be a good mix. We are flexible. When our first grand baby was born in Hawaii, it ended up being a 6 month stay in Hawaii.
yikes this is exaclty the same i was thinking about the last months, im travelling for the last 7 years, and now i start to stay in one place 8 or 9 months , travel 2 or 3 and then stay in another location with the same scheduled, nice video !
Yes, as a digital nomad myself traditional nomading helps you appreciate intermittent digital nomading.
Amazing, I thought of doing something similar, recently: Just traveling non stop, but staying at places for 5-6 months.
It really gets going from one city to another.
Hey @Stefanovic, I'd like a template of your Master Plan Part II, please. Let me know where I can find one (although I can see most of yours ))). Thanks 🙏🌟.
bro just wanted to say… i wasxwatching ur videos when u had like 2K subs, then u kinda got lost from my recomenndations… now i search for you and you are at 300K! u did it man!! congrats!!
these truths needed to be said, speaking from experience as well 👊🏻
my man is intermittent nomading between NL and Ibiza for years already. Way ahead of the curve
imo, having the ability to do remote work, is still a major upside. even if you're not in a perpetual nomadic state.
you can always go somewhere when the weather gets cold at your base.
same thing like when you don't have money, money become so important, but once you have money finally you can say money is not really important. so definitely you need to try all the things first, and at the end you finally decide which one is fit for you.
Well said
This was my first video from you, but I can already tell I have struck Serbian gold 😄
I am totally with you. I have been a Digital Nomad since 5 years. And I am tired of constantly travelling and not having a home base. My thought was the same. 1-2 Homebases and staying there the majority of the year and then traveling the other couple of months.
Thank you for sharing this with us. What this is telling me is that being a digital nomad is great for me. lmfao I love being alone, traveling, and prefer speaking to my family through call. (I don't care for being in their presence and hearing their constant rants and complaints about how they think my life should be). Although, this video felt like "My Digital Nomad Dream is Dead" rather than the actual title. If there are no statistics showing a decline in digital nomads, then the dream isn't dead for everyone. Like, considering age, personality types, life experiences (I'm from a 3rd world country), people might see being a digital nomad as freedom to explore and earn money equally.
With your life's story, your plan fits perfectly. You love family, friends and your partner. And putting prioritizing them is beautiful and important to keep you mentally and physically healthy. That's amazing. I'll convince myself that the title is just a bit of a clickbait lmao.
Just found you today and your storytelling and video editing skills are actually too good, I am inspired to be like you one day!
May I ask where you learn to edit videos like this, structure videos and even down to using the right sound effects and background music?
Thanks mate!
Most of it comes from watching TH-cam tutorials and just making a lot of videos.
Music is definitely a major part in my videos. I use Epidemic Sound for copyright free music: epidemicsound.com/referral/cmxato
@@Stefanovic92 I'll get watching, thank you very much! Ahh you're the second person to recommend this website to me so I'll check them out!
That is exactly what we do, great to see others doing it also (3-6 months in a location and have our base in London and Portugal, but escape winter and go to Thailand)
Im having the same plan. I am trying to build a base in Brazil and somewhere "home" in Europe, maybe Spain, Portugal or Italy. Good Luck Stefanovic
same here..my kids and i did 1.5 years in Brazil from the USVI and went to Costa Rica for 6 months..Back in Caribbean preparing to go back long term to Brazil
Ngl that i'm always impressed by your thoughts! 😮
I wish u could do whatever u wanna do, bro ❤
"Also, have to mention that this setup with those lights and your incredible way of storytelling is veeeeryyyyy great ❤"
Thanks mate!
There's a season for everything, but this is the way to go if you want to be consistently productive, and build truly deep connections. Your intermittent nomading thing is definitely not new though lol, I know a lot of people including myself that have been doing this for years
I know, that was a joke man
@@Stefanovic92 jokes aside, I like the term lol
I tried nomad life for around 3-4 months. I instantly realized it’s not for me. Sounds and looks cool online, but there is just no way to have a routine. If you are someone that is ambitious about your job, working out or really anything that needs some amount of stability you are going to leave all that behind to essentially travel. You need to be a very to put it frankly “careless” person to enjoy this lifestyle long term. And well you will also be lonely most of the time. No way to keep deep connections when constantly moving around.
Yeah agree. Staying at one place for at least 1 month helps a bit. But I prefer this intermittent nomad lifestyle
@@Stefanovic92I think having a place that is your “base” is essential. You can spend 3 months in Thailand during winter, 2 months in Prague or France during summer, 2 months in Croatia so on, but you really need somewhere to go back to and stay for a longer period of the year.
I know I will be moving around a lot more in my life, but I would rather those stays be a longer period (1-3 years). Gives you more time to integrate and really see the places or parts of world you live in. The nomad experience feels very shallow at times.
I’ve been traveling for 15 years. There is some pain on structure and productivity, but the bigger issue is stability in location and who you spend your time with. Solved by getting multiple residencies/passports in favorable tax and living/lifestyle environments… that’s me staying in one place (generally) and it feels weird but it’s better for me now.
While I love traveling and experiencing different cultures, those things won’t love you and won’t be there for you during your highs and your lows. They won’t be there holding your hand at your deathbed. It will be Family and close Friends who you have real genuine relationships with. If you don’t nurture those relationships and are there for them during their highs and lows, then expect the same. It’s a big world out there and much lonelier when you only live for yourself.
yes did it with kids for 18 years..we stay long term though..6 months or more...
That’s awesome man. How did you manage your kids going to school?
doesnt work with kids. unless you wanna get into trouble with kids not going to school. I know in the Netherlands its pretty strict there. other countries maybe less so.
@@alexandertraveler510 the OP literally said he did it with kids....
it's all about balance. It's great travelling but full time is burning the candle at both ends. I'm a DN and I travel for 6 months of the year. then settle for 6. its a balance that has worked for over 5 years, and when I do travel somewhere I move to thailand for example have this as a base and do little trips from there to see other surrounding countries. That way i build a community in thailand and I have a community when I come back to Prague for 6 months.
I also have many friends that do this. So usually those same strong friendships I have, we meet in other countries and I always visit my family every 3-4 months.
I absolutely love this life and I wouldn't change it. You just have to make a solid plan that works for you. Otherwise it could be really shitty.
I agree with the sentiment there. I'm in the position now where I work completely remote and could do the digital nomad life, but the idea of constantly moving, even if it's every 90 days, isn't too appealing, at least not long term. I've traveled overseas, but living abroad and tourism abroad are very different. Some countries have been offering remote work (or digital nomad) visas, some of which have residency pathways. I was eyeing Japan in particular for this, but their 6 month plan is pretty limited, you might as well just extend the tourist visa lol
Just do six month contracts in IT for high income in your home city and travel/freelance for the remaining siz months. The only downside is, you will have to get six month leases wherever you live
that's also a strategy
"Or can we?" 😄 By the way, same weather vibes here in the UK, so your video was very relatable 🙌 When you have kids, especially school age, it's a lot easier to get involved in offline stuff and create a community. My husband and I have started setting up what you've described very well in your video - having a base for the longer part of the year and exploring the world for the rest of the time. It is so satisfying! Thanks for the video 👍
I’m about to retire and still feel that thirst for new experiences. I have been thinking about the same “intermittent” plan to achieve more balanced life. I wish I had a chance ( or guts) to do it earlier but it’s better to do it at any point of your life than never. From Serbia you can find great deals for travels all over the World and they are much more affordable than what you can find in the US. Small difference in planning when you are older is that you put more emphasis on quality of health care, what is something Belgrade cannot brag about… I will keep you posted … or tell you more about it over a coffee in one of cafes along Knez Mihajlova :).
You are always speaking out of my soul!
I love how your channel feels like a tv show. There are many different episodes about diverse topics but they all connect and make part of a bigger storyline!
Can't wait to see the new Master Plan in action on Season 2. 🙌🏻
I consider myself a nomad, but I think I'm more into slow travel. Setting up somewhere, getting into a routine for a few months. This way things are always fun and interesting, and I don't have the disruption and downsides of constant travel. I can visit family for a few weeks or months every so often. Everyone's different, and I probably felt differently when I was younger, but this is what works for me now. I probably would have been gungho about being a digital nomad if I would've had the chance in my 20s and 30s. Now not so much
But paying something around 2-3k for rent in NL on those months you are travelling quite bit challenging. Video inspiring as always. Srecno majstore 💪
Jup that can be challenging. Either you rent it out or you need to save up extra money for paying double rent
We’re on the same wavelength brother! 🙏🏽👊🏽
Loved your sense of humour! Thank you for sharing your perspective!
Yes been doing this since 2016 dude. Base in London and F off every 4 to 6 weeks. Glad you got there 😅
Man. Im 16 rn and in high school. Im learning web development right now while still studying for school, I'll most likely go to college and graduate with my bachelors degree and get a job. I'll work for a few years while building a side hustle/business as I'll have enough capital for it. If it becomes successful really fast, I'll quit my job and focus full-time as an entrepreneur. If not, then i might switch to freelancing and do both simultaneously. But idk if this will work out. Sometimes, I feel like im wasting my teens and might also waste my 20s. Any tips you got, bro?
Not everyone had these dreams or the chance. You are doing well. All the best to make your dreams true !! Godspeed!!
@@heyitzsk Thank you 🙏
Dude, great video. I had nearly the exact same experience as you. Very well stated.
I spent the last 5 years working as much as I could on my business. Now I'm finally close to being able to do it full time, I'd like to travel. But living permanently as a nomad seems difficult without at least a partner to do it with. I might however do it for a year or two if I can crack the productivity challenge.
great edit :) and amazing information - really worthy :)
What's funny is that I've came with a very similar idea. Rent a home here in the states, then go out and about traveling 2-4months of the year. Same reason being where I live the summers are horrible, extremely hot and uncomfortable. So why not take advantage of remote work and leave a couple months
this is the way
Why not just build a business and go on a vacation 2-3 times a year? That's also doable and fun and you feel grounded IMO
i remembered you while i was in Amsterdam 2 weeks ago man. thought about hitting you up but didnt wanna bother you. but i can relate to what you were talking about the shit weather in the Netherlands hahah. sunrise at 9am is insaneee
Sorry Bro, we’ve been doing this for the past 15 years. I call it, “Part time home base, part time travel.” And there are so many others who had been doing that before we did. I know, it’s tough to be original, but it’s great to be right, and having a home base is the game changer. It makes travel even more enjoyable. Good luck!
I believe its called sarcasm brother
@@Stefanovic92Exactly! I was being sarcastic Brother. We’re on the same page.
I have never left America so this is my goal while I’m still young
i love your plan man and wish you the best
thanks Hadi!
It's the first time to catch an egpytian here😂
Sup buddy?
As long as remote work remains successful and make the time for it on a daily basis its the best way to be a dream for most people as a digital nomad
Awesome! Great quality content.
Thank you. I needed to hear this.
I am not a digital nomad.but I have the same opinion as we age.i want settle down.and don’t like to travel a place if there are no friends I want to meet.I like my country more than i was young.😊
The DN life was never meant to be adopted by entrepreneurs who want to scale their business. It works for people working remotely for other companies.
Did similar lived in Indonesia for 7 years and in Colombia for 6, always having worked remotely. Currently became tax resident again in The Netherlands but will keep on traveling as in switching between Colombia and Brazil but with my main base on Holland 😁😎
Living the life!
Thanks for the advice !
I just got one question : Do you keep paying your house when you travel ? Or change every time you come back ?
We rented it out when we traveled as digital nomads. Not gonna do that when we do the “intermittent nomading”
Intermittent nomading yes please. As a US citizen I'm just not able to afford living there, and as a remote worker I have a rational reason to stay out (tax exemption). So with only 35 days available to visit the US per year to stay within the tax exemption (FEIE), I've been struggling to figure out how to have a better homebase elsewhere.
The relative level of savings needed to pull this off are a moving target. I've been aiming for residency in Mexico (residency status in another country is the only financially and temporally feasible way I can think of so far for securing "bona fide residency" so I can visit the US more than 35 days of the year while keeping my tax status). Right now my "home base" is a toolshed in my folks' back yard in the states. I can only really justify visiting once every 1-2 years.
And since I'm still a tourist in Mexico I keep ending up putting more crap in storage, selling and buying again, startong over.
Oh what to do.
Totally agreed, better to have 1 base and 2 countries you know well, know the people and even speak the language, that's my future goal
That’s what snowbirds do in the US.
I’m trying to tell people this! The new generation will be snowbirding to Colombia and south east Asia instead of Florida…
Everything at live has his time. I had a similar way like you. Travel some years and it was a great experience similar to the Alchimist story of Coelho. Now I life mainly at Paphos Cyprus and another part of the year at Spain, which has many faces. For example winter at the Pyrenees offers great Christmas and Snowsport vibrations ;)
This is my dream, have a base and travel the world from time to time 🙂
Made the same plans last year…thanks for sharing
I think being nomad is a pain but moving to a different country with the right visa is a way to do it. You get an apartment, and you live your life like back at home
Weirdest coincidence. The Villa shots from 5:52 - 5:54 - is that Koh Tao? I have stayed in that villa 😂
Haha yeah man. It was the "sky villa" if I recall correctly :p
@@Stefanovic92 Yeah that's the one! so weird to see it pop up in my recommended
Like Tim Ferriss’ concept of mini retirements? 2-4 different bases in a year?
Basically yeah. Just have a home to fall back to whenever the traveling gets tedious
@@Stefanovic92 travelling is so novel in our 20s. But, now we’re in our 30s, the novelty wears off fast! 😅
Yes!!! I've done this for the last 5 years
